It Only Gets Better

I don't want to jinx this, but Addie is blowing me away! Yesterday (day 3) she told me she needed to pee...and did. NO accidents all day...not a drop. This morning (day 4) she told me she needed to go the first two times, and I've had her go three other times. So, she recognizes when she needs to go, AND she can go when I "want" her to go!



I never thought Jason was "hard," but I had no idea how easy Addie would be. With Jase I used the ebook from pottytrainer.com. A timer method, best for age two--before they become truly stubborn.



The other night I was researching night training (Jason was still sleeping at night in diapers), and I came across http://www.thepottybootcamp.com/ Their ebook was super cheap ($6), we had some paypal money left in an account, and I figured at 6 bucks I could at least learn something. SO GLAD I GOT IT!!! It also has a timer method in the beginning, but it tells you step-by-step, day-by-day, what to do. It totally took the stress away for me.

I geared myself up, and was excited about implementing the outline in the book, but I never expected Addie to learn so quickly. Honestly, BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS!

I saved this potty post as a draft, and in the mean time....Addie locked us in the bathroom. Luckily Jason, my 3 1/2 year old hero, knew exactly what to do (thanks to last weeks mishap). While I was unsuccessfully trying to undo the hinges from the inside, Jase went and got a chair, found the missing knob on the bookshelf, and inserted it into the hole. With the twist of his wrist we were free. He was almost as proud of himself as I was. Hmmm....I think it's time to put the knob back on the door ;)
